Summer Shorts

It’s 80 degrees and sunny in Chicago today and I’ve craving an adorable pair of shorts.

white shorts

cuffed shorts
bermuda shorts

and how cute would these wedges be with those shorts??

shorts from Arden B // shoes from Aldo

Style Crushing

I am completely coveting the style of…
RACHEL BILSON

casual and comfortable, but still stylish and unique
OLIVIA PALERMO

mixing classic and modern pieces, especially loving her black and brown combos
LAUREN CONRAD

her style is so young & fresh, and she wears basics so well

About a Boy


I love this photoshoot for Vogue Nippon for two very good reasons:

1. Ellen Von Unwerth is one of my all-time favorite photographers and can do no wrong.
2. Who knew “Marcus” from About a Boy could turn out to be such a hunk?! (see last photo)

Nicholas Hoult circa 2002

A Lovely Weekend

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT J.

he always cheers me up
he makes me laugh until i cry
he loves me even when i’m being ridiculous
he’s stuck by me through the tough times
he is so hot
he acts like a kid sometimes – and it’s just what i need
he gives the best hugs
and massages
he’s changed my tires, washed my car, painted the tippity top of my walls, and reached things way up top without me asking
+
everything else.
I mentioned in my fave things today post that my seven year anniversary was this weekend. We’ve been together since sophomore year in high school. We met the first day of freshman year, sat next to each other in health class. He told me he could see things lasting forever before we even got together. And it’s all history now. I will be back Monday, but for now here are some gooey-mushy-lovey-dovey photos and some celeb couples that make me smile.

Summer Wedding Wear

I have a bunch of weddings coming up this year and next and there are countless events that go along with them. Of course, I’ll need a different dress for each! Ok, I won’t actually get a new dress for each party, but I’d like to :)

WARNING: This is going to be an image-heavy post.
I was checking out the portfolio of Jag Nagra and oh my gosh, I love everything. What a great eye for color and layout. And the illustrations are amazing. There’s more on the site/blog, but I’ll be honest, I’m pretty much featuring her entire site right here.
